Norway’s Avinor posts RFI for a nationwide UTM system

Norway’s air navigation service provider Avinor Flysikring AS has issued a request for information (RFI) for a nationwide UAS traffic management (UTM) system.

According to the tender request:

“The main objective for Avinor ANS is to achieve a cost efficient system in support of providing safe air traffic control services in Norway. The amount of requests to operate drones inside the 5 km zone of airports and other airspaces is increasing, and Avinor ANS is therefore considering procuring an UTM-system for handling drone activity in a safe manner, both in relation to airports as well as controlled and uncontrolled airspace.”
